Bed bugs are pests that no one wants to have to deal with. They are small, ovalish, brown insects that feed off the blood of animals and humans. When you have an infestation, you will have a lot of them. You may only see a few, but there will be more in hiding. Bed bugs can cause many issues while in your home such as itchiness, loss of sleep, allergic reactions, and staining of furniture. Here are some tips for preventing bed bug infestations:
· Reduce Clutter: Having clutter around your property gives places for bed bugs to hide and breed. Throwing away trash and reducing clutter is a simple way to prevent bed bugs from infesting your home.
· Frequently Wash Your Bedding: Bed bugs and their eggs love to hide in laundry and bedding. Regularly wash and dry them often to help reduce the chances of an infestation.
· Don’t Store Items Under Your Bed: Storing things beneath your bed, especially if they are not in a protective storage container, can invite bed bugs to infest a place close to your bed and eventually your bed.
· Vacuum Regularly: Vacuuming your rugs can help remove some bed bugs and their eggs that are hiding in carpet fibers. This is not a treatment and is only used for preventative purposes.
